. . . DID YOU KNOW?
Mary Baker Eddy was a healer — she healed hundreds of cases, even “incurable” ones.
In 1875 she published her healing methods and discovery of Christian Science in her major work, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.
Before women had the right to vote — between 1879 and 1990 — she founded a church, oversaw the construction of an edifice in Boston, organized a major publishing society and established a monthly magazine, a weekly magazine, a quarterly magazine, and a daily newspaper.
Thinker, Healer, Author
Mary Baker Eddy discovered a method of spiritual healing that enabled her to triumph over obstacles such as divorce, homelessness, family rejection, and chronic poor health.
Mrs. Eddy devoted her life to sharing with others this scientific, spiritual system of healing. In addition to healing thousands, teaching others to heal, and giving public talks, she wrote and published many books and articles explaining these revolutionary ideas.

The Church of Christ, Scientist: In 1879, Mary Baker Eddy founded the Church of Christ, Scientist, “to commemorate the word and works of our Master, which should reinstate primitive Christianity and its lost element of healing.” (Church Manual, page 17). Today, there are churches of Christ, Scientist and, Christian Science Societies, in 74 countries. Society Nantucket is one of them!
Church Services: Sunday services and Wednesday meetings are held at Churches of Christ, Scientist, all over the world. You and your friends are welcome! The “sermon” at the Sunday service consists of the passages contained in the Bible Lesson for that week. Two Readers, one for the Bible and one for Science and Health, read these passages contained in the Bible Lesson for that week. Two Readers, one for the Bible and one for Science and Health, read these passages aloud. At the Wednesday meeting there is a time provided for sharing firsthand accounts of spiritual healing, and other remarks on Christian Science.
Sunday Schools: in Sunday School, you can talk over the ideas in the Weekly Bible Lesson with other people your ages. You can find out how to use these ideas at school, in relationships, at work — anywhere. If you’re under twenty, please come! Often there is special care for very small children.
Readings Rooms: To find out more about the ideas in the Weekly Bible Lessons, stop by a Christian Science Reading Room. Various editions of the Christian Science Quarterly Weekly Bible Lessons are available for purchase there. The Reading Room is a place in your-community where you can learn about spiritual healing. You can explore research materials on the Bible and Science and Health there. Also, you can read the Christian Science magazines — The Christian Science Journal, the Christian Science Sentinel, and The Herald of Christian Science (the Herald is published in many languages) — as well as the daily newspaper, The Christian Science Monitor. All of these resources, as well as a number of other audio-visual and print publications on Christian Science, are available at the Reading Room.
Christian Science Practitioners: Christian Science practitioners are available to help bring healing to others through prayer. They can also help answer questions about Christian Science.
